Jeriq doesn’t knock anymore—he walks in with muddy boots and a chip on his shoulder.
Chukwuemeka Obieze, the Enugu-born rapper better known as Jeriq, marked his birthday with a firestarter: Out The Mud, his first official drop of the year. Produced by Evandrillist, the track doubles as a mission statement—raw, relentless, and grounded in his come-up.
No frills. No fluff. Just bars and pain.
Coming off the momentum of his 2024 King Album, a 15-track homage to grit and ambition, Out The Mud is Jeriq at his most distilled—gravel-voiced truth-telling over a knock-heavy beat. The storytelling? Still razor-sharp. The delivery? Still chest-out, chin-up. This isn’t just rap; this is survival music.
From the first bar, he invites you into the trenches. He walks you through dirt roads and tough nights, reminding fans that success doesn’t come gift-wrapped—it’s earned, with blood, hustle, and scars. If you’ve followed Jeriq since his Remember breakout in 2020, this is the next chapter you’ve been waiting for.
The soundscape is clean but not polished—Evandrillist laces him with a beat that thumps with purpose but still leaves space for emotion. Jeriq fills that space like a man possessed, riding the beat with hunger in his tone and triumph in his cadence.
Social media didn’t need a second listen. Fans flooded timelines with fire emojis and quotables, stamping Out The Mud as a street anthem in the making. After jumping on tracks like Achalugo with Boy Spyce and Chisom (We Dem Boyz) with Rexxie, Jeriq is back in his solo bag—and it’s looking heavy.
This is what East-side hustle sounds like when it's done right. Jeriq isn’t just rapping; he’s testifying. And if Out The Mud is the opening shot of his 2025, best believe there’s a storm coming.
Stream Out The Mudnow, and keep your boots on—you’ll need them.
